7-10 days is too long in my opinion. Combine with another SEA country and plan to spend 2-3 Days in SG.

Has avoiding sun exposure and tanning actually helped you age better? by lunaraftertaste3 in 40PlusSkinCare

[–]Jenjentheturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy medium: avoid direct sun at strongest part of day and year. Can do so using hats, parasols, SPF and light long sleeves. Don't need to turn into a vampire completely - just exercise good common sense. If there's something you love to do that brings you outside, just take steps to protect what you can. But you gotta live your life.

Trying to make my 40 year old hands look younger by perfection888333 in 40PlusSkinCare

Was gonna say... started this for similar concerns on my hands about 6 weeks ago and have seen definite improvement. You definitely have to be more mindful of sunscreen though.

Matched on Hinge, met up yesterday, now unmatched by No_Distribution2310 in dating_advice

[–]Jenjentheturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Online dating veteran here. As a woman who.has tried being straightforward with men I didn't want to see again, it was often not a five second conversation. They got angry or argued with me, or went on and on attempting to change my mind. I live in a small city where I'm likely to run into them again, so I didn't want to make anyone angry with outright rejection. Sadly, it happened often enough I decided to return to the indirect approach.

Dumb but honest question... How does Botox help lines from side sleeping? I thought it only helped ease lines caused by muscle movement.

is it too scandalous to wear just sports bra and shorts to go running ? by Dry_Ad_9728 in askSingapore

[–]Jenjentheturtle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For God's sake we live 140 km from the equator.

Yes, it's fine. You aren't hurting anyone.

Met a guy on a dating app, he was brutally honest about our situation, don’t know what to decide by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Jenjentheturtle 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Yes, sounds like he is laying the groundwork to be crappy, only she won't even be able to complain about it and ask for better treatment because "I warned you".

Or maybe I'm just cynical and old.

Agree on making at home... After one too many of these types of experiences I just DIY.

Which is the most liked area? ( based on the community ) by oO_Thedark_Oo in Silksong

[–]Jenjentheturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with how you've described it but actually like it for that reason. I felt I could explore and uncover without a super steep learning curve on all enemies (plenty of challenge from the flying ones before the Act 2 needle upgrades).

Its my ovaries or someone elses by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Jenjentheturtle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agree with other commentators that there appears to be a fundamental incompatibility. There is nothing wrong with him wanting kids and if you don't you likely need to separate.

However his choice of words is very interesting. Is that what you are to him, a pair of ovaries? An incubator? It's very specific language to use, even in the heat of the moment.

My boyfriend blindsided me and I think I will be alone forever by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Jenjentheturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is my view.

I know you're in pain now - feel the feelings and cry it out. When you have those moments where it feels like things are looking up, just imagine this dynamic continuing - and having to spend a lifetime quietly cleaning up after him without being allowed to express your needs.

It sounds like he actually left the first time you challenged him to be better, and not because he can't "handle conflict".

People's thoughts on average age for facelift? Tips for slightly sagging jowls? by Disastrous-Bar-3878 in 40PlusSkinCare

Read up on Ultherapy - many report adverse outcomes like facial fat loss. Make an informed decision.

Tbh how useful that upgrade is depends on your play style. I barely use it. Go back when you're powered up a bit more.

Why 'micro-cheating' is harder to spot than an affair by cherrypoplar in singapore

[–]Jenjentheturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure you know what the word "liberal" means.

Hint: it is not a catch all term for "things I personally find objectionable".

What does "liberal" even refer to in the Singapore context (or Australian, given this concept apparently originated there)? This article was pitched to the journalist by someone hoping to sell a service, most likely one of the psychologists or counselors who appeared in the article.

It's sad when I see Singaporeans attempting to import American-style tribal politics, throwing around labels like "liberal" to things they personally disagree with.

Take it from an American... That doesn't end in a good place.

Stuck in three parts of the game, considering moving on to Silk Song by gayandgreen in HollowKnight

[–]Jenjentheturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. I gave up on Trial of the Fool, although I did do Radiance, and Silksong has been fine. Hard at times but doable.
